Why your house has Carrier
Tradition was built with Carrier from the start
The production builders that developed Tradition — Mattamy Homes, GHO Homes, and others — standardized on Carrier as their HVAC supplier through most of the 2008–2022 build-out. Walk through Valencia Lakes, Valencia Grove, Valencia Cay, Bedford Park, or Cadence and you'll see Carrier condensers behind almost every home. If your model and serial tag starts with 24, 25, FB, FE, or FV — that's Carrier.
Most Tradition homes received Carrier Comfort Series single-stage equipment. It's a reliable platform, but builder-grade installs rarely included surge protection, premium filtration, or the extra duct sealing that extends system life. Twelve to eighteen years in, those Comfort Series systems are reaching end of life — and Tradition homeowners are deciding whether to repair, upgrade, or replace.
Why a Carrier Dealer
The difference an authorized dealer makes
Warranty preserved
Carrier parts warranty requires installation by a qualified contractor with documentation. We pull warranty parts directly from our Carrier distributor and file the claim — you don't pay for parts already covered.
Carrier-spec parts on the truck
Capacitors, contactors, ECM modules, TXVs, Infinity boards — we carry Carrier-spec parts so most repairs finish on the first visit. Non-dealers often substitute generic parts that can void coverage.
Infinity diagnostic tools
We use the dealer-only Carrier Service Tool II for Infinity communicating systems. Non-dealers can't read Infinity fault codes (178, 184, 45, 110) properly.
Registration handled
Every Carrier system we install gets registered in your name within 24 hours through Carrier's portal — unlocking the full 10-year parts warranty instead of the 5-year default.
Honest recommendations
When repair is the right answer, we repair. When replacement makes sense, we say so — with written numbers, not pressure. No commission-driven sales scripts, no 'today only' pricing games.
Family owned, local
We live and work on the Treasure Coast. Our reputation is the only thing that matters, and it's built one Carrier system at a time.
What we see in Tradition
The Carrier issues we diagnose most often here
Tradition is inland — no salt corrosion — but it has its own set of Carrier failure patterns. After hundreds of service calls in this community, here's what shows up most.
Failed dual-run capacitors
The #1 Tradition Carrier repair. Florida heat cooks 370V/440V capacitors in 5–8 years. $200–$450 to replace.
Pitted contactors from lightning
Summer storms induce surges that pit contactor silver contacts. We replace at maintenance when voltage drop exceeds 0.3V.
Drain line clogs and float-switch trips
Heavy humidity + 12+ years of biofilm. The float switch correctly kills the system. EZ-Trap tablets every 6 months prevent it.
Cottonwood and pollen in the coil
Tradition's mature landscaping packs the condenser coil. We pull and clean during tune-ups.
ECM blower module failures
Original builder-grade Carrier ECM modules in Tradition homes are reaching end of life. $700–$1,300 to replace.
TXV stuck or leaking
8–12 year failure mode on Tradition systems. Symptoms: poor cooling, high superheat, frozen lineset.
Our promise to Tradition homeowners
We will never tell you to replace a system that can be repaired economically. We will never quote a $14,000 replacement when a $400 capacitor solves the problem. We will tell you when your system has real life left in it, and we will tell you when it's time to plan a replacement — with written numbers, not pressure.
That's how we've built this family business. It's the only way we know how to do it.

FAQ
Carrier owner questions, answered
Why do so many Tradition homes have Carrier systems?+
The production builders that developed Tradition (Mattamy, GHO, and others) standardized on Carrier as their HVAC supplier through most of the build-out from 2008–2022. Most homes received Carrier Comfort Series single-stage equipment — 24ABB3 or 24ABC6 condensers paired with FB4 or FE4 air handlers.
What does it mean that Maritime Air Co. is an 'official Carrier dealer'?+
We're factory-authorized to install, service, and warranty-register Carrier residential equipment. That means we have direct distributor access for warranty parts, our techs are trained on Carrier-specific platforms (including Infinity), and we use the Carrier Service Tool II for advanced diagnostics non-dealers don't have.
Should I stick with Carrier when I replace my system?+
Usually yes — your ductwork, electrical, and refrigerant line sizing are already matched to Carrier. Staying in the Carrier family means a clean upgrade path (Comfort → Performance → Infinity), familiar parts, and the strongest dealer-network warranty handling. We're never high-pressure on brand — if another brand makes more sense for your situation, we'll tell you.
How long do Carrier systems last in Tradition?+
Tradition is inland, so no salt corrosion. With Captain's Cooling Club maintenance, expect 15–18 years from a Carrier Comfort or Performance system. Without maintenance, 10–13 years is more typical. Most original Tradition Carrier systems are at or near end of life now.
Do you offer same-day Carrier service in Tradition?+
Yes. We dispatch to Tradition daily and most service calls are completed same-day with parts on the truck. Captain's Cooling Club members get priority dispatch and no overtime fees.
How much does Carrier AC replacement cost in Tradition?+
Honest ranges: Comfort Series 3-ton complete changeout $7,500–$10,500. Performance Series $9,500–$13,500. Infinity variable-speed with zoning $13,000–$22,000. We do a full Manual J load calc and written quote — no high-pressure sales, no inflated 'today only' pricing.
What if my Carrier is still under warranty?+
Bring us the model and serial number — we'll pull your warranty status for free in under 5 minutes and tell you exactly what's covered. Warranty-eligible parts come at no part cost; you only pay our labor.
Do you service Carrier Infinity systems?+
Yes — Infinity is our specialty. We carry Infinity Touch thermostats, communicating zoning boards, ECM blower modules, and we use the dealer-only Carrier Service Tool II for fault diagnosis.
Will my Nest or Ecobee work with my Carrier system?+
On standard Carrier (Comfort, Performance non-Edge), yes. On Carrier Infinity, no — Infinity is a communicating system and requires the Infinity Touch thermostat to function fully. We'll explain the tradeoffs honestly.
What's included in Captain's Cooling Club for a Carrier system?+
Two full Carrier-spec tune-ups per year (25-point inspection), priority dispatch, 15% off all repairs, no overtime fees, and annual maintenance log filed to support your Carrier warranty. $229/year for the residential plan.
